1. swap stroke and fill in swatch panel

   This would seem self evident to me, but being able to swap stroke and fill in the swatch panel as opposed to going all the way over to the tool bar, or swapping to the color panel would be a definite time and focus saver.

2. Option to show rulers by default

   I would like an option to set the rulers to show by default. I know it's only one shortcut away, but I have to do it about a million times a day. (OK, maybe only 500K)

   Hi Everyone,

   This has been completed, and has available since June 2020 release (version 24.2)

   Please go to Illustrator preferences > General > and select “Show/Hide Rulers” (refer attached screenshot). After checking this, if you hit ‘Show Rulers (Ctrl/Cmd + R)’, then the rulers will appear in every document (new and old), even after relaunching Illustrator.

   Please update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html

   Thank you for all the feedback.

3. An option to Remove Share Button completely

   Glad you can take the blue color off the Share button (based on this request: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/44391642)
   Would LOVE to have the option of taking the share button off altogether.
   It's still large and distracting. Thanks!

4. Unify the design language of UI and UX across all Adobe products

   Panels, sliders, buttons, icons, properties, drag and drop behavior is different across all your products. Why? Unify them under a single design language. I would look to Adobe XD for inspiration.

5. Please have customized brushes/swatches/&c. save automatically.

   It would be nice if custom created brushes were saved automatically so that users do not have to save them after they have created them.

6. Make blend profiles (acceleration) and better blend controls

   Blend tool in AI is weak.
   Please add acceleration for both attributes and positions for blended objects, as other competitors do.
   Remove positioning by Bezier tension, people hardly use it (watch forums), — make separate curve control for it (or at least sliders!)

7. Option to disable 'Recent Fonts' feature.

   I hate having to scroll from the top of the fonts list every time i'm searching for a new font. Currently, in preferences there is an option for only 1 recent font, however, i'd like to be able to disable this feature completely.

8. Combine Separations Preview & Color palette.

   Why not combine the Separations Preview and Color palette into one? It seems like there's plenty of space if you change the "C, M, Y, & K" to toggle buttons that turn on and off those colors and the percentage total at the bottom right. And maybe include the additional spot colors with a text link or expansion of the palette.

9. Would be nice to add an additional document color mode with CMYW or CMYKW

   Would be nice to see a feature to include the color white in the document color mode as either CMYW or CMYKW as an addition. There are printers that use all 5 printer color inks. (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, and White)

   Special printers that utilize white ink to print onto black (or dark-colored) t-shirts can be useful if white is included in the document color mode in Illustrator. This will play a huge role making white more vibrant from the printer.

10. allow text outline color to be placed "under" the fill color in Appearance palette

    few years (and illustrator versions) ago it was possible to put text outline color "under" fill, so outline would not interference with typeface, and text stays readable.
    Altough you can see "stroke" bar and "fill" bar, but they are unmovable.

11. Add 'Flatten image' option to TIFF Export options

    Every TIFF I export form AI has one layer inside, even when image is completely opaque. This bloats TIFF twice in size, and there is no option to NOT write alpha. I have to batch all my TIFFs to correct it.
    Please, just add 'Flatten image' option to Export (you can set it unchecked by default to keep compatibility) that will convert layer to plain white background.

12. Find and Replace should immediately count occurrences of the Find field contents in a document, before hitting Find

    Why not showing us how many occurrences of a searched text the document has as we type the text? Why every browser can do this, but a professional tool will smack you with the loud alert only after you hit Replace All? How can I count matches without replacing?!

13. Add a new API to delete the swatch

    There is a problem with global gradient swatches, described at https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/908050/suggestions/44461230

    Illustrator applies changes to all copies of a gradient in a document when this gradient is changed via a script. It makes sense from a practical point of view, but is devastating for scripts in general.

    We can’t duplicate gradients with a script properly, like we can do with any other swatch, because when it's done, the gradient swatch get forcibly added to Swatches and then corrupt the art which uses them when deleted... and it does not break this global link anyway.

    At the moment we copy a gradient into the swatch, it will be associated with the first object. If we repaint the swatch to use it for another object, the first object will change its fill momentarily. Just like the video from the issue above shows — https://illustrator.uservoice.com/assets/235626175/linked-gradients-bug.mp4

    So we 'instance' gradients instead of 'duplicating' them.
    Creating a new gradient via script also creates a new swatch. Deleting either the new gradient or the new swatch also deletes the other. If the need is to get rid of the swatch but not the gradient, that doesn’t look to be possible via with the current APIs. Perhaps we need a new API to delete just the swatch and not the associated global (gradient, pattern etc.).

    Having this will allow us to keep gradient changes on one object from affecting other objects. To duplicate, a new gradient will be created and a copy of all gradient properties (type, number of stops, stops) will be performed, via existing app.activeDocument.gradients.add()
    Then we will be able to delete the swatch with a new API without crashing Illustrator.

14. Complete user-defined default settings

    The work I do for my company has certain defaults that go beyond the layout of my workspace. I only use one font, I always need the same set of color swatches, I use the same tolerance amounts, etc. I export to PDFs the same way every time, I essentially need the same options. (And even with a template, I have to start from scratch for many of these options.)

    While I can save certain usual elements in my CC Library, I waste so much time saving and opening and searching. AND even then, I still have to reset the default. - I have to open CC Library, select one of my font styles, one of my paragraph styles (hope that it will work across the board in this document), load my swatches panel, etc.

    Even showing print tiling and rulers are two extra steps I do EVERY single time, regardless of if I have opened from a template.

    I should be able to set default preferences program-wide to open every document (unless I choose to make those changes on an individual case) with my preferences selected. At very least, my font and color swatches if everything else is shooting for the moon.

15. Color themes scroll bar

    The Color Themes panel in Illustrator does not have a scroll bar. I am using a Wacom tablet, but the Color Themes panel does not scroll even when I have assigned the function "scroll" to its scroll bar. I can scroll in other applications, both Adobe and others, so it doesn't seem like the fault of the tablet or tablet driver. The fact that there is no scroll bar in the default UI so it can be used with any input device is a glaring oversight. The panel is nearly useless without one.

16. Simplify the Color Panels

    Why are there so many different panels in Illustrator for working with colors? The color-making panels in InDesign are so much simpler than Illustrator. It's super cumbersome and reminds me of trying to design something in MS Word. Simplify please. Make it like InDesign.

17. Option to export to clipping mask boundaries

    When exporting assets to raster formats, it would be a huge time saver if we had an option to use the boundaries of clipping masks as the edge of the exported artwork. I created three triangles and used a circle as a clipping mask in the attached image. You can see that the exported file has a lot of padding around the artwork because the outer edges of the triangles are used as the boundaries of the file.

    If there was an additional option to use the clipping mask boundary as the edge of the exported raster file, it would mean that I wouldn’t have to open every exported file in Photoshop to then crop to the edges of the artwork and re-save the file.

18. Sort content in links palette + User controlled preflight warnings

    Added sorting ability in links palette would be very useful.
    Allowing me to sort by file size, alpha, date placed, date altered. Similar to finder or windows explorer. Allowing me to rearrange the columns to suit my needs.

    A preflight indicator of any potential conflicts would be a nice add as well.
    CMYK doc with an RGB image placed. Unused nodes swatches, does this doc contain any overprint items, that kind of thing. In a perfect world I could set in prefs what I want warnings for.

19. Customize Application Menus with COLOR in Illustrator

    Help! I love that Photoshop gives us the tools to change the way our toolbars look by highlighting the text in the columns with beautiful colors to the ones we use the most. I have yet to find this in Illustrator and I'm pouting; my memory depends on color coded hints... because that's what they taught me in kindergarten.
    I added an image with screen shots for my artsy comrades as we are all visual beings. I'm going to wait in my happy place until I hear from you. Thank you in advance.

20. The Ability to Compound by Color

    Take an object or line of text that has been converted to outlines, put an offset path on it, make that new outline a different color than the original object. Now the requested feature would be the ability to drag select the entire object and offset path, then select "Compound By Color" and it will make all colors selected into their own compound path.
